Our Life in the Son
1 Jn 5: 513; Lk 5: 12-16
Anyone who believes in the Son has life... our life is in the Son. Elsewhere we read too, "And this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (Jn 17:3). The basis of a blessed life is not our achievements or our accomplishments, our hoardings and our savings, but our relationship with God, the Source of that life! How truly and sincerely are we connected to the Lord? Jesus is seen today drawing himself alone to pray... and it is reported every now and then by the Gospel writers.
Connecting to the Father and staying in touch with the Son is the work of the Spirit within. We are chosen in not merely water and blood but in the Spirit above all. Our life in the Son is our life in the Spirit and according to the will of the Father.
